Celeste and Betty stayed with Martha for about half an hour before Trevor said , “ I’m stepping out for a bit . ”
During that time , Trevor had mostly remained a silent observer , barely speaking .
Hearing this , Martha scoffed , “ Just go then . ”
Trevor left the hospital room . But once he was gone , he didn’t return for over half an hour .
Earlier , Samantha had been there , making sure the fruit , pastries , and tea were all well taken care of .
After Samantha stepped away for a moment , Celeste noticed that Betty’s tea had gone cold . So , she picked up the small teapot and went over to the table , intending to brew a fresh pot of tea .
Seeing Celeste personally handling the tea , Martha suddenly thought of Trevor .
She frowned and muttered , “ Trevor really is something … I don’t know what he’s off doing , but he’s been gone for so long . ”
When Trevor had said he was stepping out , Celeste didn’t pay much attention to it . But hearing Martha’s complaint , she suddenly recalled that Wynn was still downstairs .
Trevor had most likely gone down to keep Wynn company so she wouldn’t get bored . Still , he had been gone for over half an hour – that was quite some dedication . 1
After brewing the tea , Celeste poured fresh cups for herself , Betty , and Martha .
Just as she set down the teapot , the door swung open , and Trevor walked in .
Martha looked at him and huffed , “ I thought you weren’t coming back . ”
Trevor only smiled without replying .
Martha didn’t press the matter and instead turned to Celeste with a warm smile . “ Cel still makes the best tea . ”
Trevor remained uninvolved in their conversation . However , when their teapot ran empty , he took note of Martha’s request and came over to refill their cups .
Another half hour passed , and the sky gradually darkened .
Celeste and Betty decided it was time to leave .
Martha instructed Trevor to have dinner with them . At this , Trevor seemed slightly hesitant .
But before he could say anything , Celeste and Betty had already declined . “ There’s no need to trouble yourself . There’s soup waiting for us at home – we’ll just eat there . ”
They were telling the truth . But aside from that , they genuinely had no interest in having dinner with Trevor .
Martha probably sensed this as well , so she didn’t insist . Instead , she simply told Trevor to escort them downstairs .
Trevor agreed and then turned back to Martha . “ I have some matters to take care of . I’ll come by again tomorrow . ”
“ Go , go . Come if you want to , I don’t care . ”
Despite her words , ever since her fall , Trevor had been visiting the hospital quite frequently . In truth , she was already quite satisfied with his attitude .

Her dissatisfaction lay solely in his attitude toward Celeste . She could tell that he was still determined to go through with the divorce .
Trevor accompanied Celeste and Betty downstairs .
Just as they stepped out of the elevator , they ran into Tucker , who was standing outside waiting for the next lift . He had a backpack slung over her shoulders .
Upon seeing them , he immediately greeted them . “ Trev , Celeste , Madam Klein . ”
Celeste and Betty nodded in acknowledgment .
Tucker then asked , “ Are you going to dinner ? ”
Before Celeste could respond , Trevor cut in with a question of his own . “ Why aren’t you in class yet ? ”
“ I’m going to check on Grandma for a bit , then I’ll head to class . ”
“ Go on , then . ”
“ Okay . ”
Tucker stepped into the elevator , and Celeste and Betty exited the hospital .
At the entrance , Celeste turned to Trevor and said , “ You don’t have to see us off . ”
Trevor didn’t insist . “ Alright . ”
